Step 3.4

Mkay, so pretty much this is just a repost of Steps 1+2, updated to reflect the changes made through realizing I needed more than one major character.

...Also, I think Jesse is my favourite character now, though he's still not going to be the main character, per se. Looking like he will be finishing off the story, though.

Step 1, v2:

A young man's newfound abilities force him, his younger brother, and the Department of Defense into a tense display of power. AUGH THIS STILL SUCKS. Going to re-re-re-re-re-re-rewrite this. Summarizing is hard. D:

Step 2, v2:

Gary Gray was fairly unremarkable, until the day a transformer exploded above his head, seeming to grant him supernatural power over electricity - powers that were largely our of his control. When this 'gift' acts of its own accord and ignites a city bus's gas tank to get him out of a stressful and dangerous situation, though, he begins training in earnest with his younger brother, Jesse, to better control himself. A video of this training, posted to YouTube, is viewed by millions - and when Jesse talks to his boyfriend about it, it filters its way up to the government; when they come to the Gray residence in an effort to recruit Gary as a "supersoldier", he balks - and, without thinking, kills one of the government agents. At that, he is given an ultimatum from the government, seeking to contain him: work for them, or be jailed or killed. Gary, instead, chooses to "go out with a bang" and attack the government directly, an institution he now views as corrupt and evil - and they recruit none other than Jesse to take him down.
